Tony, and everyone else listening...
The out of collimation was picked by one of my learned colleagues at our latest star party. He stated that he could not merge the image. Now, I had disagreed with him at that time but took a note of it.
Few nights ago I set up for observing but I was more tired than usual from looking at computer screens all day long. Centered on a single star and guess what... two of them. It turns out that when I am fresh and not tired I can merge just about anything but when my eyes are more lazy than usual I can see that there is a problem, basically we can easily accommodate small horizontal shift but can not tolerate any vertical shift and this is what I've got...
There is no doubt that the bino is out of collimation as I saw it before in binoculars that I had to collimate myself so I know how to test for it..
